#SriLanka govt has published a draft new law called #OnlineSafetyBill which should cause much concern for all who cherish #FreedomOfExpression online & offline. It has draconian provisions for criminalising speech in the guise of curbing #Disinformation + other lofty ideals 1/ Image Plans to criminalise [what #lka govt calls] #Disinformation began in 2020, during Gotabaya's 970-day regime; that draft never made public. Then came #EconomicCrisisLk & #Aragalaya. Now Min of Public Security (police min) brings out #OnlineSafetyBillLK👇 documents.gov.lk/files/bill/202…

Just ended this: we explored how #lka scientists & farmers found ways to critique #Gota govt's instant #OrganicLK policy at a time state-owned & other partisan media houses didn't allow dissent + vilified critical voices! Thx @venuraherath @thilakkari2016 @KamanthiW @sisiratweets For context & journalistic summary of #lka's instant organic misadventure, see @KennyTorrella's article in @voxdotcom in July 2022: #SriLanka’s abrupt switch to organics offers a bitter lesson in how to change food systems in a sustainable way. #OrganicLK
